As for "violent riots happening now" I haven't seen any sign of that. Do you have a reliable link to some news source?


I'm sure Trump will tweet about it in six-and-a-half hours or so. Tweets are automatically irrefutable factual evidence now, right?

It's really, REALLY heartening. For the first time since the election I feel good about America again.

I'll never forget the experience of marching in DC today.

Why did you feel bad about America? America isn't Trump. Trump is Trump.

Not because they are racist homophobic misogynists.

And Groucho, refusal to bake a same sex wedding cake is not discrimination, because it's not based on who placed the order. It's the idea they don't support, discrimination would be if they refused to bake the couple any sort of cake because they were gay. It's possible to oppose gay marriage without opposing gays.

It would be different if the bakery was using Christianity to hurt the couple. But I think that same sex wedding cakes are a small enough issue, that gay couples aren't made of glass bones and paper skin, and that they should consider the baker's conscience as well as their own happiness.

Refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple is refusal of service to a select group of society. It is discrimination. It is not refusing to bake a cake with two gay men having sex on the icing.

The racism, misogyny and homophobia didn't stop them from voting for Trump, which makes them just as culpable. Every vote that went to Trump supported his entire platform, not just the particular parts that they liked.

Anyone who voted for Trump, even if they don't think they're racist, homophobic or misogynist (and even if they literally are not) are WORSE than if they were just that, because they played a part in putting someone who embodies all that in the arguably most powerful position in the world.

Trump already saved money by using the same cake design as Obama four years ago.

I loved it of course and I loved that he was berating Washington with all the folks behind him. More religious in tone than expected but whatever. I'm looking forward to the breaking down of ACA, deportations and enforcement of immigration laws and renegotiating trade deals from free trade to fair trade.

As for those bogus zombie marches, all those leftists can March all day long or live stream or bitch about trump for the next four years at every concert. Who really gives a fuck now. Trump will do his duty despite those brain dead folks.

Its racist homophobic and misogynist to not be a single issue voter?

And it's moreso his allies that are homophobic than him.

And the missing LGBT and climate change pages are confirmed to be simply replaced with new pages for Donald Trump. While he may not have the exact same policies of Obama, at least he's not ignoring them like everyone feared.

If it means you're supporting a platform and political party that also involves racism, homophobia and misogyny then yeah, it is. If you voted for Trump (I don't think you did, something to do with registration) and some is subjected to any of those things because of it, you had a hand in making it happen.

And of course getting cosy with people like that in no way reflects what kind of person Trump is, and won't affect his presidency at all.

I was set to vote for Gary Johnson on that day.

I don't see a distinction. As long as they are consenting adults, why shouldn't the state threaten to ruin the baker in the second instance and if he continues to refuse, to actually ruin him?

The second is a group of people that like to eat cake with two dudes fucking. Why aren't their rights protected? If the fucking dudes use a condom in the image, would that make it acceptable for the state to coerce the bakers participation? What if they wore a pro-LGBTQ shirt while fucking? Is it now category one?

Why should the baker even be paid for his services in this instance? If he is required to make the cake, why should he be paid? I am not paid for not breaking laws. Why should he be paid for not breaking a law?

Here's the key: If someone makes a product -- whether a cake or a bicycle or a cup -- they can't say "I will sell this to anyone EXCEPT [fill in group here]. It's the exact same product, but they're discriminating simply because of the group.

The baker can refuse to make a cake that says "Gay marriage rules" or "I am against gay marriage" or "support Trump" or something else that has a message they disagree with, but a simple cake that is exactly like every cake he sells to heterosexual couples -- how is that NOT prohibited discrimination?

Exactly. Voting for Trump said "Yeah, he may be surrounding himself with Klan members and Nazis, but I don't care, I'm supporting him anyway." It's basically complete selfishness.

That's what I said. A gay wedding cake would usually say something aboutvtbe wedding on it, no?

In what sense is Trump homophobic? What does that make 08 Obama (besides a liar)?
